A month ago, we were wondering if Alexandre Mendy was not the tree that hid the desert in Stade Malherbe Caen. The center-forward scored a lot, which was confirmed later against Le Havre, but lacked a relay on the front of the Caen attack. The three goals scored by Mehdi Chahiri in the space of the last three games suggest that Alexandre Mendy is no longer so alone to bring danger.
